Abstract
Renal impairment is a common complication in patients with ovarian cancer. Renal impairment in ovarian cancer patients can be caused by various factors. Many of the chemotherapeutic agents administered to treat ovarian cancer are nephrotoxic and can promote kidney dysfunction, leading to renal impairment. Ovarian tumors can obstruct the urinary tract, leading to a reduction in renal function and dilation of the upper urinary tract. Acute kidney injury (AKI) can occur in ovarian cancer patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Women treated for epithelial ovarian cancer suffer an accelerated rate of renal function decline, independent of major risk factors for kidney disease. Conversely, renal impairment can affect the dosage of chemotherapy drugs used in ovarian cancer treatment. Dose reduction, dose adjustment based on pharmacokinetic data, alternative treatment regimens, and individualized dosing may be necessary to ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes while minimizing the risk of toxicity and treatment-related complications.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Renal Injury Prevention (JRIP) is a quarterly peer-reviewed international journal devoted to the promotion of early diagnosis and prevention of renal diseases. It publishes in March, June, September and December of each year. It has pursued this aim through publishing editorials, original research articles, reviews, mini-reviews, commentaries, letters to the editor, hypothesis, case reports, epidemiology and prevention, news and views and renal biopsy teaching point. In this journal, particular emphasis is given to research, both experimental and clinical, aimed at protection/prevention of renal failure and modalities in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. A further aim of this journal is to emphasize and strengthen the link between renal pathologists/nephropathologists and nephrologists. In addition, JRIP welcomes basic biomedical as well as pharmaceutical scientific research applied to clinical nephrology. Futuristic conceptual hypothesis that integrate various fields of acute kidney injury and renal tubular cell protection are encouraged to be submitted.
